A Week OF Startling News.

The week just closed has been unusu
ally full of news OF u startling and mo.
mentous character. Additional details
of the Chatsworth horror have been un-
folded day by day, and interest IN them
has been succeeded by particulars of ac-
cidents and crimes which, while not re-
sulting in such terrible fatality, have re-
ceived worldwide attention. Most prom
inent in the news of the week, and to
which the BEE has devoted large atten-
ton on account of the especial interest 1t
has throughout the state have been the
particulars of the Ute aprising nColorado.
While we believe that too much import.
ance has been given to this affair by those
who characterize it as the beginning of
national uprising, yet the impending
fate of the people of Meeker and settlers
in the White river country has fully JUS
titled the prominence which we have
given it. 90 %
On Wednesday the BEE chronicled the
accident on the Baltlmors &, Ohio in the
city limits Of Washington, and on Thurs.
day another railroad disaster near AL
lance, O.. both of which resulted in the
loss Of life. BY collision in Illinois the
latter day much live stock was killed and
a large amount of property destroyed.
On Friday came the news of the terri
BILE destruction caused by the storm at
Republican City, in this state, whereby
two lives were lost and property dam
aged to the extent Of $4,000. Following
this, on the same day, came the intelli-
| gence of the burning In mid-ocean of
| the Inman line steamer. City of Mon
treal, whereby over four hundred lives
were endangered. BY almost marvel,
however. all the precious human freight
was saved with the exception of thirteen
unfortunates who drifted away in an
open boat. But for the fortunate
presence In the vicinity of
the burning vessel of another
steamer, the press of the world would
have been called upon to chronicle the
most horrible ocean catastrophe that has
occurred in score of years.
Yesterday another lynch,ng occurred
in Nebraska, a negro being hanged by a

A Literary Reaction.

A reaction against the modern realism
in novel writing seems to have set in.
w. u. Howells. who has for number of
years been sort of demi-god to readers
of fiction in this country, no longer oc-
cupies his exalted position in perfect
peace. Criticisms against his criticisms
begin to appear. Mr.. Howells recently
expressed himself rather contemptuously
in reference to H. Rider Haggard, the
writer Of "She." king Solomon's
Mines" etc., and some of tho papers
have taken up the cudgel for the English
author. This indicates reaction against
tho realism which has now been in vogue
for number OF years.

What lacks the summer?
Not roses blowing,
Nor tall white lilies with fragr ance rife
Nor green things gay with the bliss OF grow
Nor glad things drunk with the wine of
life,
Nor flushing of clouds in blue skies shining,
Nor soft wind murmurs to rise and fall.
Nor birds for singing, nor vines for twining-
Three little buds miss no more,
That blOssOmed last year at my garden
door
And that is all.
What lacks the summer?
Not waves a-quiver
With arrows Of light from the hand OF
Nor drooping i of boughs by the dimpling
Nor nodding of grass on the windy lawn.
Nor tides upswept upon silver beaches,
Nor rustic of leaves on tree tops tai
Nor dapple of SHADE in woodland reaches
Life pnlses gladly on vale and hill,
But three lit,le hearts that l love are
still
And that is all.
What lacks the summer?
o, light and ssvor
And message Of healing the world above.
Gone is the old time peace and love,
Gone Is the bloom of shimmering meadows,
Music of birds as they sweep and fall
All the great world IS dim with shadow,
Because no longer mine eyes can see,
The eyes that made summer and life for
And that is all.
